50 Best Cafes near Compton

“nice relaxing atmospuhere“

“Nice vibes, convenient location with easy parking, beautiful decor. Service was lacking, but understand there is a labor shortage right now, perhaps that's to blame here. Bodega sando was perfection! Pastries were alright...most looked better than they tasted. I'd say they were good but not great.“

“This Vietnamese spot quietly sits inside a bland strip mall but surprises in every bite. The pho was rich and fragrant, and their pho‑French‑dip banh mi served on Persian bread was unforgettable. I appreciated how inventive yet respectful their flavor combinations stayed. Seating is minimal, but the staff are attentive and efficient. It’s precisely the sort of hidden gem locals appreciate—not glossy, just excellent food“

“Great all around food choices with excellent quality! All the staff are personable, friendly, and knowledgeable. Great service with great prices!! Love Appu’s“

“The staff and owners are beyond amazing!! Their love for the community and passion to serve others makes me believe in goodness again in this world. I love you guys! Thank you so much for all you do!!“

“Crepe Heaven Café in Lawndale is a brilliant five-star destination that truly lives up to its name. They excel at delivering both authentic French-style crepes and a warm, inviting atmosphere. This is the spot for the freshest, lightest crepes, whether you're craving sweet or savory.
Must-Try Items: For a savory delight, the Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Crepe is the perfect start to any morning. For dessert, you absolutely must indulge in their classic Nutella and Banana Crepe, which is pure perfection. Pair any crepe with one of their expertly made Espresso Drinks for the ultimate café experience.“

“Highly recommend. Service and food are both great!“

“Very healthy and delicious breakfast/lunch sandwiches (organic produce), salads and Coffee ☕️...and pastries...LAUSD Coffee cake the BEST 😋😋“

“The açaí bowl is thick, fresh, and tastes like dessert in disguise — perfect fruit, perfect crunch. And the avocado breakfast sandwich? Creamy, seasoned, and actually satisfying. No bland vibes whatsoever.

Short version: it’s delicious, it’s consistent, and I’d 100% go back tomorrow.“

“Don't walk.. RUN to kyucafe. Seriously. They use beans from a local roaster that always has quality beans. The staff is very friendly and the kimchi is 🔥

Grab a riceball for quick on the go breakfast or snack, made fresh every day! A very impressive addition to the neighborhood. So excited to see it. 💛“

“Cappuccino, espresso, croissant, cornetto, are my favorites, but everything is fresh and delicious! Service and atmosphere is great! Alessandro got it right! Bravo!!“

“I have been trying to get in severally times but fail due to overcrowded not taking reservations. Other than that, good restaurant for breakfast n lunch, closed at 2pm“

“This coffee spot truly delivers an exceptional experience. The coffee itself is rich and flavorful, and the food choices complement it perfectly. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, making it a great place to unwind. You can watch the roasting process up close, which adds a unique touch, and the store is beautifully arranged. Right outside, there is a lovely park ideal for a peaceful stroll. A must-visit destination for anyone who loves coffee.“

“I love the neighborhood cafe, my sister had mentioned she enjoyed it last time she came with a friend and I came to try it out. I loved the food, their breakfast burrito so yummy and their chilaquiles too. Loved their salsa. Overall great experience and a nice environment to get breakfast and catch up with a friend. Robert and Norma were super nice and would continue checking in on us to make sure we were doing well. Definitely recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I came here to do work at this coffe shop as it was nearby. It was busy and very popular but I was lucky enough to snag a seat. There were a few other people doing work here as well so it can be a bit noisy if you want to hop on calls.

I can appreciate that they have private wifi so it helps with connecting and feeling more secure.

For the coffee, I loved their maple syrup latte. It was very delicious and I don’t know if it is a seasonal one, but it should belong on the rotation.

The shop has a lot of cute merch and vinyls for you to browse through. The owner works behind the counter and is in the trenches with the employees so I love to see that and support businesses who operate this way.“

“The ambiance is out of this world, but don't be misled by the storefront. It is quite large with many rooms. Food was fantastic! It took a while to get it, but I think that's because they didn't have enough people working. Coffee was great also!“

“The staff was really rude, it was a guy in the back just ignoring the fact I had just got there to order... and didn't even greet or anything just stared and continued to do whatever he was doing.. wait for about 20mins before leaving.. I even had eye contact with him😒😒“

“I really like it because the food is good and prices reasonable“

“Family Friendly and quite lovely“

“Todo es saludable y son amables“

“Love it here!! We found it by chance when we were going through the mall for the first time and it has been great every time. The base cheesecake itself tasted like it should (in my opinion): creamy, cheesy, tangy, perfectly sweet. And then the toppings and flavor choices just pulled it all together! Not overpowering at all, and they ALSO tasted exactly the way they should! You can taste every spice that goes into the toppings and flavors. I loved the peach cobbler one, but that banana pudding is a killer too. I'm gonna try cookies and cream or maybe the s'mores one next. I'm excited to see what else they come up with (: the service was excellent, the owner's daughter helped us and she was super kind and helped us pick our first flavors. You can tell a lot of love goes into the craft here <3“

“Loved the environment & the Food is Amazing 🥰🤓 I hosted my Be You Kickstarter Launch 🚀 Party there.“

“I like to enjoy my favorite White Chocolate mocha and the good people !! They are very servicial with the customers !“

“This place is a hidden gem. My favorite spot to go whenever I’m in the area.
I have yet to find a single item that didn’t hit the spot. The drinks and food are both perfect and there’s a great variety to pick from. Mark is the man!“

“Great spot with delicious food and coffee. It's part market and cafe, with plenty of seating, large tables. The acai bowl is a solid choice, the pizza slices are generously large, and the side of tater tots was so big two people couldn't eat it all. Plus they do great things for the community. Highly recommend.“

“Some construction work were on going so it’s loud and prolly not the most enjoyable space to sit and chill over your cup of joe. If it’s not because of that, the space was actually cool, featuring some artworks around several corners, nice greenery, and some seats for brief chilling moments.

The menu went beyond just basic ones and even featured seasonal specials. I got intrigued by the Miso Butterscotch Latte , which I would 1000% recommend, being not overly sweet, letting the bold coffee stood out, and perfected with the creamy caramel-ly butterscotch with a salty savory hint from the miso.“

“We found this place by accident and decided to try some açaí right away and I’m so glad we did. I have to say. if you’re looking for a real Brazilian superfood açaí experience, you’re going to love this place. It’s one of the best açaí bowls I’ve had outside of Brazil. The staff is very friendly, and on top of that, you can choose unlimited toppings. Highly recommend!“

“Per usual 917 did not disappoint. The experience is Always pleasurable. The menu offers a variety of tasteful options which evolves according to season, along with keeping some staple items such an their amazing burger. The service is always exceptional, efficient and friendly. We look forward to our next experience.“

“A delicious made from scratch falafel in a great sandwich. Friendly staff. Since my first review I have returned and tried their Chicken and Cheese sandwich. Even better then the falafel sandwich! It is a chicken salad sandwich with lots of yummy chicken salad and Swiss cheese. I had their regular French fries 🍟 Very tasty. Again the staff was very friendly and helpful. Did I mention the tasty chicken?😋😋“

“I recently stumbled upon an adorable little coffee shop, thanks to a quick search on Google. As someone who loves exploring new places, I was immediately drawn to its charm. The shop offered an impressive array of pastries. We decided to try their croissants, which turned out to be light, airy, and perfectly crispy.

The coffee menu, while straightforward, was inviting. However, I noticed that there weren't many options catered specifically for kids. After inquiring, the staff kindly provided us with a variety of alternatives, ensuring everyone could find something enjoyable. One thing we learned was that most sweeteners came with an extra charge.

We faced a minor setback when it took longer than anticipated to receive our drinks. With two orders ahead of us, we found ourselves waiting about 20 minutes. Despite the wait, we would definitely return. The coffee was simply perfect, though next time, we'll be sure to allow ourselves some extra time.“

“what a lovely place....of all races...( ;“

“Great refuge in the city. It's a soothing and home like atmosphere. Everyone is welcome. Like a typical Latin home. Comfy couches, great food, kind staff, diverse community of patrons. They care about the food and service they provide. They are also willing to accommodate modifications. I'll be coming more often. Also, large parking lot on site!!!
Outdoor or indoor tables.
Gracias.“

“Everything it is an awesome place to eat at“

“Delicious!!! Definitely coming back. Great friendly service!…🥰“

“Really cool spot close to Long Beach City college. Drink menu has a good amount of options. The baristas are nice, offering good service and I got chance to meet the owner, Peter, who's super chill and serves the community proudly!

My iced green tea with lemon and honey was excellent and refreshing.

As I was here, I can tell the customers are community regulars who love coming here and have a relationship with this cafe!“

“We stumbled upon this little café by chance while driving from the airport — and what a hidden gem it turned out to be! I honestly envy the office workers who get to have this place nearby every day.

It's a small café, but everything they serve is top-tier culinary art — the sandwiches, coffee, and salads are absolutely delicious. And the soups… just wow! We tried the pumpkin and broccoli soups — both incredibly tasty and nourishing. My 7-year-old son usually won’t touch broccoli, but he loved their broccoli soup and ate it with great pleasure.

We've only been there a couple of times over the past year, but it’s definitely on our list for every future trip to Los Angeles. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Really great food. The best place to have breakfast, lunch and all around good eats.“

“Porto’s is always a great spot for sweets, especially their birthday cakes, which are some of the best. The food is also very tasty, and I really enjoy their coffee because it’s always well made. The service is very attentive and friendly. The only downside is that it can get quite crowded, especially on weekends when the lines are long.“

“This is a good choice when you want shave ice dessert the flavors are natural I’m allergic to a lot of colors and they don’t add any additives so if you were sensitive as I am, I has not reacted to anything that I have order there, which is very common with this desert. they had lots of colors this place doesn’t.“

“Great menu and people-watching.“

“I ordered the cinnamon oat latte, and I'm usually not a fan of oatmilk but it was balanced so well against the espresso and the cinnamon that it didn't dominate the flavor. It was a very smooth drink, not too sweet, not too bitter, and not too strong.

My wife got the strawberry matcha latte, and while the matcha was of a decent grade and quality, the strawberry isn't a puree, nor is it like a strawberry creme or milk added in, it's an additive in powder form and she doesn't tend to like that.

Their chocolate croissant, which we shared, was heated up as requested, it came with a line of melted chocolate drizzle on top, which I think was similar to Nutella but less thick in terms of consistency. It was also topped with powder sugar, and it had an inserted line of darker chocolate, maybe 65%, so pretty balanced against the sweetness of everything else involved.

The area the cafe is located in is nice, it's a large promenade with several nicer restaurants (it's also sort of attached to it's restaurant counterpart) and there's plenty to walk around and get some shopping done or walk off the drinks and baked sweets. Plenty of parking as well, and the mall itself is only a block or two north from the cafe.“
